**Melissa's Speech and Language Therapy Services**
With over 12 years of experience as a highly specialised Speech and Language Therapist, I provide dedicated, independent support to children with a wide range of communication needs. Based in the Wirral area, I offer face-to-face consultations while also extending my services nationwide through telephone and video consultations. My approach is flexible and personalised, ensuring that each child's unique needs are met with tailored recommendations, strategies, and therapy sessions designed for both the child and the family.
**Services Offered**
I work with children aged 18 months to 18 years, addressing a variety of communication difficulties, including:
- **Social Communication Difficulties:** Helping children use words and gestures to effectively interact with others, and make their needs and wants known.
- **Receptive Language Difficulties:** Assisting children in understanding spoken language, enabling them to follow directions and comprehend conversations.
- **Expressive Language Difficulties:** Supporting children in forming coherent sentences and organizing their thoughts verbally.
- **Articulation and Phonological Disorders:** Improving the clarity of speech by working on sound production and pronunciation.
**Specialisation**
I specialise in working with children who have complex needs, including autism spectrum disorders. My extensive experience in this area allows me to develop and implement effective strategies that address each child's specific challenges and strengths.
**Professional Credentials**
I am a registered member of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapy (RCSLT), the Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP), and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). These affiliations ensure that I adhere to the highest standards of practice and stay current with the latest developments in the field.

I am committed to helping your child achieve their full potential in communication and look forward to working together to create a supportive and nurturing environment for their development.
